birds

As Springwatch comes around once more, I thought it would be a nice idea to share the news on here. General News: The main location for Springwatch 2024 is RSPB Arne in Dorset. We’ll be returning this spring to catch up on the stories and wildlife characters from Springwatch 2023 – one of the...

In case anyone's curious about the birds in their area, I used to struggle with bird identification myself. However, I've recently discovered the Merlin ID app, which I find incredibly helpful. It not only identifies birds visually but also through their calls. Plus, it's free of charge.

Hello, do you know reintroduction projects that are cancelled because of past/future climate changes ? And conversely future plans that have been designed under future foreseeable climatic conditions ? I add that the climatic conditions may not be the sole reason to redesign reintroduction...

Around the world, more than 130 species of birds, or about one percent, are considered “lost.” At least a decade has passed since each of these species were last confirmed by photographs, sound recordings, or physical documentation. To identify, promote, and rediscover these species, American...

Hey there! There is a stork in the Bronx Zoo’s Jungleworld exhibit that I just cannot seem to ID. Most forums about the exhibit say there are painted storks here, but this to me looks nothing like a painted stork. Thanks!

So I’ve seen a lot of zoos with outdoor bird enclosures some even out of cages and roaming around freely but my question is how do these birds not get bird flu? There’s a large bird sanctuary near where I live and they have parrots flying around freely and I’d love to know how they keep the...

I've read there were hoopoes at the Bronx Zoo as recently as 2021. Are they still there and I haven't seen them due to the construction in World of Birds? If not, are there any other US zoos that house any of the hoopoe species?

I'm looking for birds from this area. I'm aware of the following: Hawaiian hawk Mariana fruit dove Guam rail Guam kingfisher white-throated ground dove many-colored fruit dove golden white-eye bridled white-eye Tongan megapode Palawan peacock-pheasant Luzon bleeding heart Mindanao bleeding...

I've noticed the National Aviary's collection has been missing from a lot of the bird population threads, so I'm doing a species list for once instead of just uploading media :) This initial post is going to contain a full list of bird species in alphabetical order by binomial, along with a map...

Hello, I wonder if any zoo / private collection has tried to breed the Cuckoos or other parasitic birds (e. g. the Cowbirds in the Americas), keeping them with host species. According to Zootierliste, 3 European/Russian/Middle Eastern zoos keep the Common Cuckoo Cuculus canorus (and many...
